IWAU Uprising Taping 12-3-19
IWAU Uprising Results Jan. 7, 2020
From friends to foes – the fight for the IWAU Uprising Title just got personal.
General Manager Kevin Pipher was still absent this week, but acting as his Proxy, the Intimidator Josh Totten stepped in to fill in his managerial duties. Totten hit the ring first this evening to talk about the priorities he and Kevin had discussed in the aftermath of Friday’s Main Event show.
It wasn’t long before the Real Monster Jason Tiller hit the ring to call out the conspicuous absence of Kevin’s brother and disgraced former GM Kyle Pipher. Tiller said he’d done the IWAU Faithful a service by leaving Kyle Pipher injured following their triple threat match with Dexter Roswell last Friday and that his recent success has gone largely unnoticed. He demanded of Totten to be rewarded for his most recent efforts and to his delight, Totten said that he and Kevin had already chosen to afford him an opportunity at the IWAU Club Championship against Champion Shank Barzini and fellow challenger Cowboy Clayton Clark.
Tiller, satisfied with his title shot, left the ring without incident. As the Intimidator continued with his announcements, IWAU Uprising Champion Tanner Keeler came to the ring and provided the second interruption of the evening for Totten. Keeler, following his loss at Main Event to Joey O’Riley asked for the footage to be reviewed. Totten explained that after review, the referee had been struck in the course of the match and while Joey won, it was by DQ and the title didn’t change hands.
O’Riley came out and relinquished the title, but because he won the match he retained his number one contendership. In the fourth interruption of the evening, Johnny Echo made his way to the ring and began touting his accomplishments and accolades while making it known that while he respected Joey, he still felt that he deserved a title shot. O’Riley agreed to put his number one contendership on the line in the main event of the evening against Echo.
Meanwhile, Keeler began talking about the fact that he’d had a change of heart and that he wanted to see the company succeed. He offered his “talents” to the training class and said that he wanted to work with them and help make them better. While, not completely convinced, Totten agreed to allow Tanner some time during the evening with the trainees.
Here’s how the evening went:
- Keeler “taught” the training class this evening with Charlie Catt and DJ Chris. He “coached” them on different amateur wrestling techniques in two minute rounds. However his teaching and coaching mostly amounted to the same thing he’s been doing for the last few weeks and used the opportunity to beat up on the trainees. Catt showed promise as Keeler was unable to pin him in the two minutes allotted.
- Nikki Driftwood defeated Mara Qilin on a quick schoolboy roll-up and gaining leverage by holding Qilin’s tights.
- Bo Sawyer defeated Ezra Zealous in a one-fall match by pinning Zealous. Sawyer used the ropes and the referee’s inattention to his advantage and secured the leverage pin by putting his feet on the ropes.
- Shank Barzini retained the IWAU Club Championship against Jason Tiller and Cowboy Clayton Clark. Tiller looked to have won the match after hitting his finishing move, however Barzini stole the win after Tiller turned around into a blow from the champion using the title.
- Johnny Echo defeated Joey O’Riley via inside cradle to become the new number one contender for the IWAU Uprising Title. O’Riley his his signature 450 Splash but it appears he wasn’t able to get all of it as Echo was able to muster enough strength to roll him up following the rebound from the landing.

IWAU Uprising 12-31-19 Results and Friday Night Main Event Preview
UPRISING RESULTS:
In a wild night of action at the “go home” Uprising event, many of the IWAU Stars raised the stakes for this Friday’s Main Event.
Mara Qilin surprised many when she won the IWAU Club Championship last month from Shank Barzini. Since then Shank has made a habit of disrupting Qilin’s life. This past Tuesday was no different. Nikki Driftwood brought her talents to the ring to challenge for the Club Title. Unfortunately, the action was cut short as Shank interfered and the ref had no other option but to call for the bell. Mara won by disqualification and retained her title. Afterward, Shank grabbed a mike and vowed that no woman would ever hold the Club title again.
In another shocking moment Tuesday night, The Real Monster Jason Tiller was set to do battle with disgraced former General Manager Kyle Pipher. Tiller is still claiming that Pipher owes him money following their brief partnership. Tiller made some threats over the mic before Pipher told him that he had a surprise in store for the monster mercenary. In a shocking move, Matt Maverick made his grand return after being laid to waste by Tiller and Blaine Black this summer. Pipher said that he’d hired Maverick to take out Tiller once and for all. The drama however was short lived as Dexter Roswell revealed that Pipher had a zero balance in his bank account. After that Maverick and Tiller teamed up and left Pipher laying on the mat. However, that didn’t stop him from challenging Tiller and Roswell to a match this Friday.
In the main event, IWAU Uprising Champion Tanner Keeler set out to prove once again that he was the best wrestler in the company. With no intent of actually doing anything other than show off his prowess, he and former champ Joey O’Riley squared off. Following two, five-minute, non-title matches that both went to time limit draws, IWAU Owner Josh Totten said that the IWAU Faithful deserved better than this for their main event every week and ordered the match to go until one of the competitors definitively won. O’Riley capitalized on the distraction and Keeler’s child-like rage to hit his famouser and steal the win.
In other action:
- Dexter Roswell def. B-Rad with a headlock driver
- Charlie Catt and Johnny Echo Def. Bo Sawyer and Shank Barzini via DQ after Sawyer continued to use closed fist strikes after being warned.
IWAU Friday Night Main Event Preview:
While the card May change, here are the major matches we’re aware of at this time.
- Joey O’Riley challenges Tanner Keeler for the IWAU Uprising Championship in a match with no time limit.
- Mara Qilin defends her IWAU Club Championship against Shank Barzini and Nikki Driftwood in at triple threat match.
- Kyle Pipher takes on Jason Tiller and Dexter Roswell in a handicap match.
O’Riley vs. Keeler – With no time limit to hide behind, Keeler will look to end this match quickly, so look for him to try and get the upper hand early and utilize his amateur background to gain the leverage over O’Riley. And make no mistake about it, Joey is a skilled wrestler, but Keeler has the edge in both size and pure strength. O’Riley will need to use his speed and avoid the power moves. Without the safety net of the time limit, Keeler will be dangerous, but O’Riley is no stranger to a challenge.
Qilin Vs. Driftwood Vs. Barzini – A trail of destruction. If Barzini has his way, that’s what he’ll leave. He’s proven that he has no qualms about laying waste to whoever stand in his way, man or woman. If Qilin hopes to retain her title, she’s going to have to reach deep into her bag of trick and also her very soul. The wrench in the cogs for this match is going to be Driftwood. Relatively new to the scene, she potentially brings something the IWAU faithful haven’t seen to the table along with the potential to turn this match on its ear. However, if either of them hope beat Barzini, Driftwood and Qilin are going to have to get creative.
Pipher vs. Tiller and Roswell – Pipher made a surprisingly bold move Tuesday when he challenged Tiller and Roswell to a handicap match. Now, he’s going to have to back up his word and that won’t be an easy task. Tiller has been on a tare for the last few months and it seems like he can’t be stopped. And now that he’s aligned himself with someone as politically powerful as Roswell, the atrocities he can get away with now might just be insurmountable. Roswell is no slouch in the ring either – he was responsible for much of the carnage at War Games a couple months back. Pipher may very well need a miracle, because he’s definitely doesn’t have the votes.

IWAU Uprising Results Dec. 17, 2019
One thing is for certain after this week’s edition of IWAU Uprising: disgraced former General Manager Kyle Pipher has made enemies out of everyone in the IWAU Locker room.
His night began with a match up against IWAU’s resident politician, Dexter Roswell. After a short battle between the two, it wasn’t clear who the IWAU faithful hated more. Roswell seemed to be getting the better of Pipher, who struggled to maintain consistent offense. Just as Pipher began to pick up some momentum “The Real Monster” Jason Tiller emerged from the curtain.
Phipher immediately thought that Tiller was there to help him and started trying to direct his hired hand to attack Roswell. However, Tiller stated that Pipher owes him $10,000 for previous services instead turned his attention to the kilt-wearing former GM.
Roswell took advantage with a quick roll-up and stole the win. Tiller left Pipher looking up at the lights after the bell and collected a roll of bills from Roswell.
